Okay lets start of saying teddy a legend and has done enough genius level production that we don't have to really hold this against him.

A failed attempt of adjusting with the times but switching up his name to 'TR' and trying to rap and run with benzino was never gonna be a good move.

i see what he was going for here but this s*** is literally boottee

fake ass swizz beatz ass track, even down to the wannabe dmx hook

alright i'll give meth his credit he floated on this mess of a beat. he makes it sound ahead of its time but get to the hook/second verse from 'TR' and u realise how over the top he went with the sound effects on this s***. tf was he thinking.

Ngl all of these work for that era lol

I never knew Teddy Riley tried to go Puffy

Lol this is like if Just Blaze or Alchemist tried to make post Lex and Chop trap beats. I respect it, New Jack Swing probably felt super dated by the mid to late 90's and he had to reinvent himself

He could have kept that New Jack Swing sound going if he linked with Bad Boy but they were the ones who kinda killed it

Everything in pop music has its time. Timbaland wasn't able to adapt to EDM.

I mean by that point Pharrell, Chad, and Timbo had already surpassed him and were doing fresher things.

I honestly think if Riley paid more attention to some of the stuff Dupri was doing around the time he would be better off.

Some genuinely horrific production in OP

this one of his biggest chunes

this s*** funny as hell dawg teddy was in his upn the parkers freestyle unity bag lmaao

bro really was froint facing with these thinking they not trash trash well first one is but they hella undercookeds i hear whjat he was tryna do but he doesnt quite pull it off brazy they all got big budget videos as well

This is bait

but damn that method man verse had no sense being that damn fire over that beat. nigga went rap maniac sheesh lmao on that trash ass song lol

nah sisqo murked too lol he had everybody at their peak powers and laced em wit guitar center beats

Timbo sucked after 2009

I was talking about the 2010-2012 era

your takes been pissing me off lately knock it off

I think the amount of hate is proportional, that first track has 2.3k views

Scarface and Snoop sound good on that second beat (as expected), the Figadoh s*** reminds me of the beat on Shyne Bad Boyz

I like that the logo in the background of that Sisqo song looks like Dean Blunt Zushi

In summary OP is WRONG!!! these tracks are nothing to write home about but Teddy Riley is a legend and never gets enough love online in 2026

dude his 2009-2012 production was trash, it's widely agreed upon. He came back with 20/20

shock value II was in 2009 and had bangers

didnt see your follow up post specifically 2010-2012 though i probably agree with that

“Doesn’t get enough hate” may be my favorite type of thread on here

Seriously. Listening to it gave me a friendly reminder how nice meth actually is.

Shows his greatness he was able to shine on that s*** show of a beat

so he did adapt you just picking a specific time to hate on?

I think op trying to say he went chasing sounds instead of evolving his sound.

Weak attempts to trying to keep up with swizz timbo and pharrell while rebranding as a JD or puff were clearly not successful and didn’t work.

But it is what it is. At some point all producers fall off. Teddy couldn’t keep up with timbo and P. Now timbo has completely fallen off and outside of that clipse album P hasn’t done much crazy in recent times.

Doesn’t take away from there greatness to reflect on certain eras and realise it’s ass

Ur right shock value 2 era was f***ing awful. Everything being so over the top and every possible element being loud as s*** in his mixes like a edm sound was just terrible direction from him.

Idk how anyone can listen to that sisqo beat and be like oh nah this is fire. Purely from a production perspective it’s terrible
